Windows 2000 domain with non-default, or Windows 2003 domain with default, security permissions

 

If a local user installs WebSphere MQ, the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard detects that the local user (MUSR_MQADMIN) created for the WebSphere MQ services (AMQMSRVN) can retrieve the group membership information of the installing user. The Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard asks the user questions about the network configuration to determine whether there are other user accounts defined on domain controllers running Windows 2000. If so, the WebSphere MQ services need to run under a domain user account with particular settings and authorities. The Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard prompts the user for the account details of this user. Its online help provides details of the domain user account required that can be sent to the domain administrator.

If a domain user installs WebSphere MQ, the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard detects that the local user (MUSR_MQADMIN) created for the WebSphere MQ services (AMQMSRVN) cannot retrieve the group membership information of the installing user. In this case, the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard always prompts the user for the account details of the domain user account for the WebSphere MQ services to use.

When WebSphere MQ services needs to use a domain user account, WebSphere MQ cannot operate correctly until this has been configured using the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard. This configuration includes creating default objects such as the Default Configuration. The Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard does not allow the user to continue with other tasks, such as creating the Default Configuration, until the WebSphere MQ services have been configured with a suitable account.

If a Windows 2000 domain has been configured with non-default security permissions, the usual solution to enable WebSphere MQ to work correctly is to configure it with a suitable domain user account, as described above.

See the WebSphere MQ for Windows Quick Beginnings for more information.
